. ROSA PONSELLE WILL BE ONE OF STARS OF METROPOLITAN TONIGHT Season Opens With “La Vestale”—Meriden Diva Surrounded by Operatic Talent Including Mar- garete Matzenauer, Gia- como Lauri-Volpi, Giu- seppe De Luca and Ezio Pinza. New +York, Nov. 1 (A—The jew- elled and resplendent occupants of the Metropolitan Opera House will look tonight upon the opening of another season and also upon a new combination of first night operatic stars, Rosa Ponselle will have the lead- ing role in “La Vestale,” Spontini's opera of Imperial Rome and the Temple of Vesta. Surrounding her *will be a cast including Margaret Matzenauer, Giacomo Lauri-Volpi, Guiseppe De Luca and Ezlo Pinza. Opens Social Season Giulio Gatti-Cassazza the Metro- politan’s general manager, again has varied the premiere The trio of Jeritza-Gigli-Scotti, one time Tegulars for the premiere event, has been broken up, presumably to avoid the consequences of any artist assuming the title of “greatest”, As a large share ofe New York's soclety adopts the opening of the opera as a time to launch the win- ter's soclal season, the audience to- night will be filled with celebrities. Pinzg New Basso Lauri-Volpi appears in the tenor part in which Edward Johnson sang dast season. Dinza, new to America has the basso role filled last year by Jose Mardones. He comes from the La Scala company. Tullio Serafin again will conduct. “La Vestale” is described as popu- lar and artistlc, and therefore suit- able for the first performance. Bpontini reccived recognition for it through the Empress Josephine of France, and the work was com- mended by Napoleon. Soclety On Display ‘The opera season never opens with a novelty, but always with a favorite work, it was explained, because the event is more of a social than an artistic affair. Some attend the opera to hear, others to see. The music lovers ar- rive early and stay late. Many of the social luminaries, including diplomats and prominent personages, arrive late and leave ecarly. The rule is, “Arrive early and see, or ar- rive late and be seen.” The 35 red velvet caves that form the tiers in the old brown house, contain the mightiest of those w names appe n the socials register. 'hey are usually filled after the t. perament among the arti ch disturbing incidents ha Dicen attributed in the past, is held < by Mr. Gatti, who insists ict discipline. This, with reparations for the open- cs the usvally brilliant, event.

Detrolt, Nov. 1 (A—"Jimmy" Cunniffe, notorious eastern killer- bandit, met death here yesterday at the hands of an associate, during a savage brawl which cost the lives of three other persons and resulted in the wounding of two more. Cunniffe, wanted in connection with the recent slaying . of John Enz, Elizabeth, N. J.,, mail truck driver, and Frank E. Kearney and the latter's son, Robert, of New Brunswick, N. J., was shot down by a man known here as Willlam Olson, reputed bank robber, during quarrel over division of loot from recent holdups here. Police who rushed to the rooms in a fashionable apartment house | where the shooting occurred, were engaged in a pistol battle by Olsen | who killed Patrolman Ernest Jones, and wounded Ephraim Rancour, another officer, and Darl Burns, a resident of the apartment house, before being shot to death himself by Rancour. Cunniffe and an unidentified wo- man companion were found dead in the apartment when the wounded policeman gained entrance. ‘He had been shoa, a‘half dozen times, and the woman was similarly wounded. Olsen, according to the police, ap- parently had emptied his gun at | Cunniffe and re-loaded it before | killing the woman, The room bore evidence of a ter- | rific struggle. Approximately ten | thousand dollars in currency, be- lieved by police to have been loot obtained in a series of Detroit bank | robberies, was strewn over the floor. | A table on which a champagne sup- per had been set out, was overturn- ed. Police last night communicated with *eastern authorities in an en- | deavor to establish the {dentity of ‘UlsPn. It was at ‘first thought he { was “Bum” Rogers, notorious east- | ern criminal and assoctate of Cun- | niffe, but his measurement failed to correspond with those of Rogers on [ tile at police headquarters here. | The police however are of the | opinfon that Olsen was an accom- plice in the New Jersey killings. The two men with the slain woman came | here shortly after the New Jersey killings and $150,000 mail robbery at Elizabeth, in which Cunniffe was accused of participating. Shortly after their arrival, a half dozen daring holdups were staged here, and police believe the dead men participated in them. A complete description of Olsen and the dead woman were sent to | castern officials yesterday.
